King Charles III has continued to fulfill his royal duties despite battling cancer.

Charles, 75, was photographed leaving Buckingham Palace in the back seat of a black car on Thursday, March 21. The king wore a black suit with a baby blue tie.

While attending an event on Thursday, his niece Princess Eugenie revealed that he is in a good mood.

“He’s doing well,” said Eugenie, 33, during the Elephant Family’s Little Egg Hunt, in support of a nonprofit founded by Queen Camille‘s deceased brother, Mark Shand.

Charles has recently limited his public appearances and held only a few audiences at the palace while he received treatment for cancer.

Buckingham Palace confirmed in January that Charles needed a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate. Weeks later, it was announced that Charles had been diagnosed with “a form of cancer.” Neither the palace nor the king have shared further details, but a royal expert has Omid Scobie reported in February that Charles does not have prostate cancer.

Since news of his condition made headlines, Charles has only briefly addressed his diagnosis.

“I would like to express my sincere thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he said in a February statement. “As anyone affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

He continued at the time: “It is equally encouraging to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped to promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations supporting cancer patients and their families in the Support UK and the rest of the world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater because of my own personal experience.”

His health struggles also affected his family, including sons Prince William And Prince Harrythe last of whom flew over the pond to check in. (Harry, 39, lives with his wife in California Meghan Markle and their two children.)

“I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and visit him and spend time with him, I’m grateful for that,” Harry said. Good morning America last month. “I jumped on the plane and went to him as quickly as possible. I have other travel plans that will take me around Britain, or back to Britain. So I come by to see my family as much as possible.

Although Harry is no longer a senior working royal and thus unable to replace Charles, the monarch has been able to employ William, 41, Camilla, 76, and his siblings. Princess Anne And Prince Edward to intervene on his behalf during official appointments.

PAUL SCHOLES’ son Arron has taken a cheeky swipe at England boss Gareth Southgate on social media after he was spotted with Kobbie Mainoo.

Southgate was ridiculed last week when he announced his England squad without the addition of Manchester United wonderkid Mainoo.

The 18-year-old midfielder had missed out on the senior team but was promoted to the Under-21s.

However, after a stellar performance in midfield during Man Utd’s thrilling 4-3 FA Cup win over Liverpool, Southgate changed his decision and promoted Mainoo to the senior squad.

Earlier today, photos showed Southgate and Mainoo sitting down for a chat.

This week, Southgate was also linked with the Man Utd job to replace Erik ten Hag when he eventually steps away from the England team, which he has led since 2016.

And Arron, 24, couldn’t resist poking fun at Southgate over a possible transfer policy of his should he take over the Old Trafford gig.

He said on X, formerly known as Twitter, as if quoting Southgate: “Find a new club. I’m signing Kalvin Phillips in the summer.”

Southgate is known to be a big fan of Phillips, despite his recent struggles for both form and fitness at West Ham.

The on-loan Manchester City star gained the confidence of Southgate euros in 2020, with England reaching the final of the tournament.

However, Phillips was dropped from the Three Lions squad and was forced to face Brazil and Belgium during the March international break.

Speaking about the decision, Southgate explained: “There are times when you know your best players are your best players.

“Other people may doubt it, but you go with them because you know you can get that level of performance from them.

At this point, based on Kalvin’s performance over the last few weeks, I wasn’t confident he could get on the field and do the job we know he is capable of.

“So there is absolutely no reason why he cannot find that form. Nothing would give us more pleasure than to have Kalvin who is back in the rhythm of the game and full of confidence again.

“We’ll be a better team, whatever that is, if that’s the case, so we hope he can find that.

“Maybe at a time like this you’re thinking, that might be the lowest it can get for him in terms of the last few months, now he can just go for it and be himself.”

After reporting to St Georges’ Park, Mainoo broke his silence during his sudden climax England to call.

Outside Three Lions training, he said: “I was at the Under-21s and I got a text from [the England assistant manager] Steve Holland and told me to meet him at the reception.

“He just told me I’ve been drafted. I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet, but I’m excited. [My family] are all buzzing.”

In February, SunSport analyzed seven midfield options to team up with world-class talents Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice, concluding that Mainoo would be the best fit for the job.

It seems that Southgate has now also subscribed to this way of thinking.

And Southgate could hand the Carrington Academy graduate his international debut against a player from Brazil or Belgium – although it remains to be seen in what capacity this will be.

The old man from Arron made his own England debut in 1997 at the age of 22 and went on to make 66 appearances, while Mainoo doesn’t turn 19 until April 19.

B&M shoppers are thrilled to see a “delicious” Malteser flavor back on shelves.

The discount retailer has restocked Maltesers Gold and fans can’t get enough of it.

Maltesers Gold are filled with the classic malt flavor and covered with white chocolate.

The flavor launched in Australia in January last year and shoppers were desperate to reach British shores.

Astute shoppers first spotted the packs in B&M stores in June last year, but it is not clear when they disappeared from the shelves.

Chocolate lovers have taken to social media to share their excitement about the return of the Maltesers.

One shopper wrote on Facebook: “Looking yummy.”

Another user tagged his friend and said: “Omg have you ever tried any of the gold things – they are amazing.”

A third exclaimed: “Omg I have to try this.”

And a fourth described them as “delicious”.

The Sun has asked B&M how much the 130g Maltesers Gold bags cost, and we will update this story as soon as we hear back.

When The Sun checked we couldn’t find any other retailers selling the treats.

You can find your nearest B&M store using the locator on the website.

It always pays to compare prices to ensure you get the best deal.

Please note that stock may vary from store to store, so it may even be worth calling your local B&M to see if they are selling the new Maltesers flavour.

And to keep an eye on other stores to see if they sell them.

At the time of writing we couldn’t see Malstesers Gold in stock online, but B&M were selling other flavors and sizes.

To the delight of shoppers, dozens of food items are making a comeback – from sweet treats to savory snacks.

B&M is known for offering snacks and sweets that haven’t been before

If you look online there are several independent online retailers doing this, and sometimes it’s worth checking out Amazon too.

Aldi made biscuit lovers’ dreams come true when it revealed it would be bringing back the much-loved Elkes Sports Shortcake biscuits.

While Nestle made KitKat fans very happy when the Hazelnut KitKat Chunky was back on the shelves after three years.

The Sun has put together a guide to the ‘nostalgic’ foods making a comeback.

In the meantime, here’s the full list of discontinued food products that are slowly disappearing from supermarket shelves.

MOST Haunted star Yvette Fielding is once again investigating paranormal activity in a whole new way.

The ghostbuster, 55, is encouraging Brits to send her creepy clips captured by their Ring devices.

The ‘first lady of the paranormal’ has already investigated a creepy video taken by a woman in LA who saw a white halo floating around her bedroom.

“I was stunned when I went to see the images,” said 65-year-old Monica.

“I tried to understand what it could be. It was too big to be a dust particle, and the curtains were closed, so there was no chance of an outside source. Nothing made sense.”

Monica claims the orb stayed in her house for almost a month and even moved between rooms.

“What’s stranger is that a man named Eddie died in the house not too long ago,” she continued.

“When I said its name, it would shake. My granddaughter was just as curious to see it.

“She then called upon him and the orb immediately left the room through the door.

“I decided to share the footage in the hope that someone could help explain the event.”

Yvette presented the hit 2002 TV series Most Haunted with spirit mediums, including Derek Acorah, to investigate spooky happenings in the UK.

She has also starred in other paranormal shows such as Ghosthunting With… and has also competed on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2015.

The TV presenter has now analyzed the strange video and says: “Mysterious glowing orbs, inexplicable shivers… I remember my first encounters with a ghost, and it was truly terrifying!

“In terms of the orb in Monica’s footage, this could be one of the first manifestations of a ghost, and if it’s Eddie, it seems like a peaceful ghost and has nothing to be afraid of.”

As part of the collaboration with Ring, Yvette will investigate snippets of unexplained activity submitted by users.

Once submitted, she selects the most compelling and chilling videos to exclusively reveal whether their footage is paranormal in nature and what might be haunting their home.

Send videos to spookystories@ring.com by April 7.

Olivia Munn was spotted for the first time since revealing her breast cancer diagnosis last week when she stepped out with partner John Mulaney over the weekend.

The actress, 43, revealed in a devastating Instagram post last year that she had been diagnosed with cancer and had a double mastectomy last week.

Munn held hands with Mulaney, 41, with whom she shares son Malcolm, two, as they headed to see a friend in West Hollywood.

The star wore a white blouse, blue jeans and black boots as she walked with her boyfriend, with her locks worn sleek and straight.

Mulaney wore a black top and brown jeans while carrying some flowers during the outing.

In her post, Munn revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had undergone four surgeries in the past ten months.

In her post announcing her diagnosis, Munn wrote, “In February 2023, in an effort to be more proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks you for 90 cancer genes. I tested negative for everyone, including BRCA (the most famous breast cancer gene).

‘My sister Sara had also just tested negative. We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a negative mammogram.

‘Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.’

She continued, “In the past ten months, I’ve had four surgeries, spent so many days in bed I can’t even count, and I’ve learned more about cancer, cancer treatment, and hormones than I ever could have imagined.

“Surprisingly, I only cried twice. I guess I didn’t feel like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I put emotions on the table that I thought would hinder my ability to stay clear-headed.

“I tend to let people see me when I have energy, when I can get dressed and leave the house, when I can take my son to the park. I kept the diagnosis and the worries and the recovery and the pain meds and the paper coats private.

“I had to catch my breath and get through some of the hardest parts before I could share it.”

Olivia praised her midwife for deciding to calculate her breast cancer risk assessment score, adding: ‘The fact that she did that saved my life.’

‘Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors such as my age, family history of breast cancer and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30. She found that my lifetime risk was 37 percent.

‘Because of that score, I was sent for an MRI, which led to an ultrasound and then a biopsy. The biopsy showed that I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast-moving cancer.

’30 days after that biopsy I had a double mastectomy. From one day I felt completely fine, until the next day I woke up in a hospital bed after a ten-hour operation.’

Olivia, who attended the 2024 Oscars with John this weekend, added: “I’m lucky. We took it so long that I had options. I want the same for every woman who ever has to deal with this.”

She then urged her followers to ask their doctors to calculate their breast cancer risk assessment score, and urged women to keep up with their annual mammograms and breast MRIs.

“I’m so grateful to my friends and family for loving me through this. I am so grateful to John for the nights he spent researching what each surgery and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect.

“Because I was there before I had every surgery and there when I woke up, always posting framed pictures of our little boy Malcolm so that it was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes,” the star wrote.

Olivia concluded, “Thank you to the friends who have had breast cancer and the friends who put me in touch with friends who have had breast cancer for guiding me through some of my most uncertain and overwhelming months.

“I am deeply grateful to the nurses, patient coordinators and staff at Cedars-Sinai in LA and Saint John’s in Santa Monica. “I would especially like to thank my surgical oncologist Dr. Armando Giuliano, my reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Jay Orringer, my oncologist Dr. Monica Mita and especially my guardian angel, Dr. Thais Aliabadi.”

Olivia wrote in her caption, “I hope that by sharing this, others will find comfort, inspiration, and support in their own journey.”

Mulaney wrote a sweet message to his other half after she shared the surprising health update.

Mulaney responded to a message his girlfriend posted on Wednesday announcing her diagnosis.

The comedian revealed that both he and their son “adore” Munn as he thanked her for “fought so hard” to be with them.

“Thank you for fighting so hard to be here for us. Malc and I love you,” he said, along with a red heart emoji.

Mulaney, who was previously married to Anna Marie Tendler, has been in a relationship with Munn since 2021.

The showstopper of an item – called Paula Echevarría belted trench coat – is the capsule wardrobe find that will instantly make your outfit look chicer.

Someone else chimed in: “Cutest spring outfit.”

”So CUTE,” another agreed.

“Absolutely obsessed,” wrote a fourth.

This isn’t the only thing shoppers are raving about – we recently wrote about a cute £24 denim jacket that’s perfect for the warmer months.

The biker style jacket is perfect for a casual yet chic ensemble, but can also be worn with leggings or even jeans for a more edgy look.

Ideal for layering in spring and summer, the angled collar, diagonal zip, buckle cuffs and belted hem make this jacket super flattering.

The Princess of Wales was reportedly spotted looking ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ on a visit to a local farm shop over the weekend, marking the first time she has been seen out and about since undergoing planned abdominal surgery.

Kate and William were reportedly seen at one of their favourite spots, around a mile from their Adelaide Cottage, in Windsor on Saturday after having watched their three children – George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five – take part in sports.

The sighting at The Windsor Farm Shop will provide a much needed boost to the British public who have been growing more concerned about the Princess’ health in the midst of a tsunami of speculation over her unknown condition.

A witness who saw the couple told The Sun last night: ‘After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.

‘The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.’

While no pictures were taken of the couple – adhering to their request for privacy as Kate recovers – their alleged appearance is an encouraging sign that she is taking her first steps towards a return to official royal engagements. 

The Princess, who made her last public engagement at Sandringham on Christmas Day, is expected to return to public duty after April 17, when her children start back at Lambrook School, near Ascot, following the Easter Holidays.

Yet there is suggestion that Kate could now make an earlier return and may even be seen walking into the annual Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel on the Windsor estate. 

According to the Telegraph the Princess has not ruled out making a return to the public eye on Easter Sunday and could join her family for the traditional walk about, which would be photographed. 

A palace source told the paper there had been ‘no confirmation either way’ adding that anything else was speculation.

The reports of an early return and her Windsor sighting come just a few days after the Princess was pictured in the back of a car alongside Prince William as they left Windsor Castle last Monday. 

The Prince of Wales was on his way to Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service while MailOnline understands Kate was headed to a ‘private appointment’.  

In recent weeks wild rumours – fuelled by social media and the foreign press – have speculated over the reason why Kate has not been seen, despite the Kensington Palace’s laying out her recovery timeline.

‘Katespiracies’ online have ranged from claims she was recovering from a ‘Brazilian bum lift’ or in a coma, a theory sparked by a journalist on Spanish television. 

Some joked she was a contestant on The Masked Singer television show – or may have even been bumped from the Royal Family.

Other trolls and conspiracy theorists have used her absence and the lawlessness of social media to spread deeply sinister and highly libellous claims. Even Kim Kardashian has wade in posting selfies captured: ‘On my way to go find Kate.’

The absurd claims only intensified when the Princess took the blame for the family photograph released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top picture agencies over concern that it had been ‘manipulated’.

It came after it was pointed out that part of Princess Charlotte‘s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt were missing, with other speculation including the positioning of Kate’s zip. 

In addition to the numerous imperfections in the image, viewers also spotted that Kate appeared to not be wearing her wedding ring, which sparked multiple unfounded theories online about the state of her marriage. 

The furor on social media led the Princess to make a personal apology on X, writing ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.’ 

It is understood that Kate had only intended to ‘bring a bit of joy’ and release a reassuring image to thank the public for their ongoing support, and that she and William are both ‘shaken and devastated’ at the speculation about their marriage. 

William is said to have taken the picture in a 40-minute window on a £2,900 Canon camera on Friday before the Princess edited it twice in Photoshop to ‘make it the best it can be’. 

Despite calls for the original image to be published, Kensington Palace insisted it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children. 

One insider said: ‘I worry about all this attention on Catherine. She did not look happy at all in the car on Monday.’

Over the weekend, a source close to the Wales’ said that the couple will disclose more information about Kate’s illness and recovery in due course. 

‘In Kate’s case, there is almost nobody else in the world whose face, body, clothes are more judged than hers,’ the insider told The Sunday Times. 

‘What is happening is exactly what they said would happen — she would spend two weeks in hospital and be back after Easter. So what if they haven’t pushed her out there to wave from the back of a car? She is not a show pony.’  

A friend said the Waleses are fully aware about the circulating rumours but claimed: ‘They’re not like [Prince] Harry, obsessing and scrolling through Twitter, but they know it has broken through. 

‘They follow the news and see the BBC breaking news alerts.’

The insider added that the speculation around the couple’s marriage is ‘just cruel’, especially while William, Kate and their children are ‘going through the hardest time they’ve had to go through as a family’.

Kate was admitted to the London Clinic – the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – for planned abdominal surgery.

She left the hospital on January 29 – almost two weeks later – and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Speculation grew online as she recuperated in Windsor which was only stoked further when William pulled out of a memorial service for his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece, for an unexplained ‘personal matter’. 

The Ministry of Defence also came under fire after it suggested that Kate would be attending the Trooping the Colour event in June before her appearance was quickly stripped from the Army’s official website.  

Details of her condition have not been revealed but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that the Princess wished her personal medical information to remain private.

Another friend said: ‘She and William are at their most open when out interacting with the public. I can see a world in which the Princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements.

‘If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it. They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays.’

Kensington Palace has maintained that Kate is ‘doing well’ and will only provide significant updates.

The couple are refusing to publish any details until they feel ready, with a friend adding: ‘They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. 

‘I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call. They are not going to be rushed.’ 

Sources told the Mail that that there is no pressure or hurry on her to do so and her focus remains on ‘what is important’ – her recovery and her three children. 

Despite this tumultuous few weeks for the Royal Family, it is expected that William and Kate will still uphold the tradition of releasing a new photograph to mark their children’s birthdays, the next being Prince Louis on April 23.

‘They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays,’ an aide told the Times.

While there has been no official confirmation that Kate will be well enough to attend Trooping the Colour in June, the King, who is suffering from cancer, is determined to attend his official birthday celebrations.

The Mail revealed last night that aides are already exploring ways that Charles will be able to part within the constraints of his ongoing cancer treatment. 

This could include watching the military spectacular from a podium, instead on horseback as usual, and being driven to Buckingham Palace, like his late mother did.

A firm decision will be made at the time and will be dependent on medical advice. The event will take place on June 15 and the Mail understands the planning is a source for optimism. 

‘There are a number of key events His Majesty would love to attend coming up in the diary and this is at the top of the list,’ a source said.

Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori stood side by side at Kanye West’s Vultures Listening Party on Tuesday.

The pair left fans shocked when they were spotted side by side at the event celebrating Kanye’s latest studio album Vultures 1, which was released in February.

Bianca, 29, is currently in a relationship with the controversial rapper, 46, while Kim, 43, was married to him from 2014 to 2022.

In a clip from the event, Bianca can be seen wearing a pink top as she films the performance on her phone as Kim stood next to her.

Fans were clearly shocked to see the two women in each other’s company and were quick to comment on a clip of them shared on social media.

Users on

Kim is reportedly in a friendly relationship with Bianca, but is reportedly not a fan of her strutting her daring fashion in front of her children North, ten, Saint, Eight, Chicago, Six, and Psalm, Four, whom she shares with Kanye.

“Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. “She’s really surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.”

Australian-born Bianca has been pictured in a slew of eye-catching outfits since marrying 46-year-old Kanye in December 2022 – less than a month after his divorce from Kim was finalized.

She was photographed in a skimpy outfit that barely covered her breasts and bum at last weekend’s Super Bowl, which was mocked online for looking like a “taco shell,” and just days before that she stepped out in a sheer trench coat with nothing underneath.

But in photos with Kim’s children, Bianca’s outfits are more reserved.

She wore long pants and an oversized black coat as she catered to North, Saint and Chicago at Kanye’s Vultures listening party in Miami in December.

Kanye recently appeared to defend his wife’s bizarre and sometimes lewd outfit choices, as well as his decision to post half-naked photos of her on his Instagram.

“I post my wife as much as I want,” he told his 19.5 million followers on Tuesday. ‘It makes me happy. Some people don’t want you to be happy. They want you to make them happy. I decided to make myself happy and I’m happy with that [sic].’

In contrast to Bianca’s tacky wardrobe, Kim was asked to change her outfits when Kanye thought she was showing too much skin, with the artist heavily influencing her fashion choices during their seven-year marriage.

“Kanye did the same thing he did to Bianca and Kim during their wedding,” the source continued. “The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person, as an artist.

“Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through, but she believes Bianca should have known what she was getting into.”

The billionaire SKIMS founder spoke openly about Kanye’s influence on her fashion choices throughout their relationship.

In a 2018 interview with W Magazine, she said, “I always thought I had really good style — until I met my husband, and he told me I had the worst style.”

And on an episode of Keeping Up with The Kardashians, she said: “Kanye has always dressed me. In the early 2000s, he would literally send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be.”

When Kim disagreed with her husband’s advice, he told her, “You’re my wife, and it affects me when photos are too sexy.”

Kanye previously criticized Kim’s SKIMS brand for being “overly sexualized.”

She also revealed that he disapproved of her 2019 Thierry Mugler Met Gala dress and labeled her corset a “form of underwear” the night before the event.

It wasn’t just Kim’s clothes that Kanye took issue with, but also her appearance.

At the Vogue 100 Festival in 2016, the brunette beauty said: ‘My husband loves me without makeup. If I could, I’d wear makeup 24/7, but he likes me without it.’

But his apparent hold on Bianca’s style has caused concern among her friends, who fear she has not only changed since she met him but is also being ‘used’ to promote his new album, Vultures.

It is also said that her parents were ‘mortified’ to see their daughter in such strange outfits – especially the sheer raincoat she recently wore with nothing but a pair of black boots.

“Her family and friends are shocked as it is getting worse and worse,” an insider previously told DailyMail.com exclusively.

“Bianca clearly doesn’t realize that what she’s wearing is not only disgusting and setting a bad example, but she may also be breaking the law.

“Meanwhile, Kanye is covered in five layers of clothing and when his wife looked cold while naked and wrapped in plastic, he didn’t even offer her one of his capes.”

The source continued, “Her parents are so upset about this because they don’t recognize her.

“She wouldn’t do this unless she was being monitored.”

Kanye’s recently released hit album Vultures features Bianca on the cover with her entire backside visible. Kanye has also used her to promote his Vultures-inspired clothing on Yeezy.com, including a “Wet T-Shirt” crop top.

“He continues to lock her down by giving her more shares and control over various projects he undertakes, including the clothing,” the insider added.

The Princess of Wales has been spotted leaving Windsor Castle with Prince William – as experts say this is an attempt by the Palace to show ‘she’s up and about’.

Kate Middleton was pictured alongside her husband leaving Windsor Castle today just hours after she apologised for digitally editing a family portrait released on Mother’s Day.

The photo was the subject of a kill notice from several reputable agencies due to the alterations.

With the Prince of Wales heading to Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service today, some speculated that Kate could be joining him in a surprise return to royal duties.

But MailOnline understands that Kate was heading to a private appointment instead. 

Kate had looked out of her window as William appeared to read some notes on his phone as they were swept out of the grounds of Windsor Castle in a blue Range Rover that later dropped William at the Abbey without her.

Royal commentator Michael Cole told MailOnline that her appearance is a ‘pretty obvious attempt to move the story on’ and to show she is ‘up and about’.

The mother-of-three was not expected to be seen in public until after Easter following abdominal surgery and two weeks in a private London hospital in January. Her surprise appearance came as wild online conspiracy theories swirled around the princess and her health.

It came as Kensington Palace came under increasing pressure to release the original Mother’s Day photograph after the Princess of Wales apologised after she admitted she had edited the family portrait of herself sitting with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Experts told MailOnline it was changed using Photoshop and related AI tools.

The world’s major photo agencies later ‘killed’ the picture after noticing signs of digital editing, including a missing part of Princess Charlotte’s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her wrist and skirt, and the positioning of Kate’s zip.

Royal commentator Michael Cole told MailOnline: ‘The fiasco of the faked photograph is a very bad look for the Royal Family at a very difficult time.

‘The apology by the Princess of Wales for manipulating the Mother’s Day image of herself and her children is well meant.

‘It will be accepted by those people who are kind and understanding. Kate is and will remain a popular person with the general public.

‘But it cannot be denied that this episode does reveal a terrible naivety, bordering on foolishness.

‘What was she thinking, imagining she could fool experts whose profession is scrutinising hundreds of photographs every day, to judge whether they are authentic, and worthy of publication, or fraudulent images for immediate deletion?’

He added that today’s appearance in the car with Prince William is ‘a pretty obvious attempt to move the story on’ by giving the media a ‘new, genuine, authentic, real photograph’ of her that has not been Photoshopped.

He continued: ‘This may shows the public that she is, indeed, up and about – but still not well enough to attend the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.

‘She has now been pictured three times since her operation but always sitting down; so it is reasonable to conjecture that she is not fully ambulatory yet.

‘This latest appearance will not divert attention from the fact that an official royal photograph has been faked. That is a first. Kensington Palace must now come up with a full and plausible explanation of how and why this cack-handed attempt at media manipulation came about.

‘Otherwise, there is a danger of permanent damage to the credibility of the royal family.

‘It is that serious. At a time when artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to present a false picture of famous people and important events, being scrupulously honest and straightforward in public communication is essential.

‘Nothing else will do.’

This morning the Princess of Wales gave an apology on social media. She said: ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day’. She signed it ‘C’ – for Catherine.

PR experts have described the Mother’s Day photo fiasco as a ‘massive own goal’ and urged royal officials to release the unedited picture in a bid to regain the public’s trust.

Mr Cole said: ‘Lie once and you won’t be believed when you tell the truth. Any hint of trickery undermines the message. Trust once lost is very difficult to regain.

‘I was shocked when America’s Associated Press and London-based Reuters issued a ‘kill notice’ on the Mother’s Day photograph released by the Press Office at Kensington Palace, showing the Princess of Wales and her three children, laughing and happy, an image that it said was taken by Prince William, the Prince of Wales, at their home, Adelaide Cottage, in Windsor Great Park, last week.

‘AP and Reuters are the world’s two most prestigious news agencies; I can say that because I once worked for their biggest rival, UPI. That they should withdraw the photo and warn their clients not to use it, because it had been manipulated at ‘source’ (by Kensington Palace), is a highly damaging indictment.

‘The problem, said AP, was that the hand, wrist and cardigan sleeve of Princess Charlotte, 8, had been altered after the picture was taken – ‘Photoshopped’ in the jargon of the trade. A minor matter? Not so, AP’s top person in Britain told me: ‘For us, it does not matter what the manipulation is, only that it happened’.

‘Quite right. Agencies have to be constantly on their guard against distributing false images, in particular from places like Gaza and Ukraine where warring factions pump out propaganda photographs making the points that they wish the world to see.’

Kensington Palace had initially faced calls to reveal the truth behind the photo after the world’s top picture agencies – including the Press Association – ‘killed’ the image over claims it had been digitally manipulated.

Kate this morning admitted she had edited the photograph and issued a personal apology ‘for any confusion’ it had caused. Sky News’ analysis of the photo’s metadata found the image was taken with a Canon camera and was saved in Adobe Photoshop twice on an Apple Mac. Other experts suggested she may have used an AI tool.

The photo of the mother-of-three beaming with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was the first official picture released of the princess since she under went ‘planned abdominal surgery’ in January.

While the princess publicly took the blame for altering the photo, Kensington Palace said it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children.

Mr Cole added: ‘Windsor is a world away from a battle front but the principle is the same.

‘Photographic specialists approach their work with forensic skills because they have to be able to spot fakes, as the Princess of Wales now knows if she didn’t before.

‘To think she could doctor such a happy image was well beyond foolish. It was counter- productive and in the extreme.

‘For an object lesson in turning success into failure, this episode is hard to beat.

‘The warm welcome that was at first given by the public to the first official picture of Kate, Princess of Wales, since what was clearly major abdominal surgery on 17 January, has now become doubt in the public’s mind:

‘If we can’t trust the photograph, can we trust what we are being told about the health of the Princess?

‘With so much rumour circulating- most of it cruel, unkind and frankly ridiculous – candour from Kensington Palace and the Prince and Princess of Wales is now not just desirable, it is a must.

‘If we cannot fully believe an innocent Mother’s Day photograph, what’s next? How long before we discover that the Crown Jewels are only paste and pinchbeck?

‘If truth is compromised, credibility goes with it. Big mistake, Kate. Sorry to have to say so when you are unwell but this was not the way to do things.’

Earlier, Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith defended the Waleses and claimed they would not have been responsible for altering the image.

The Celebrity Big Brother evictee said: ‘Obviously the family wouldn’t be the ones to do any touch-ups, so if that’s gone through some filter before it’s gone out to the broader world, but they wouldn’t be doing photoshopping themselves.’

He told Good Morning Britain: ‘The smiles on faces said it all for me, I thought it was beautiful.’ Mr Goldsmith added: ‘And this whole ‘sleevegate’ thing, just leave it alone.’

Royal author Omid Scobie, seen as a cheerleader for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, accused the Palace of having a ‘long history of lying’, and said gaining back public trust was now ‘an almost impossible task’.

Scobie wrote on X that if it was an isolated incident, it was an ‘unfortunate error’.

He added: ‘But with the Palace’s long history of lying, covering up, and even issuing statements on behalf of family members without their permission (cc: Prince Harry), it’s becoming increasingly difficult for the public to believe a word (and now photo) they share.

‘Gaining that back at this point is an almost impossible task.’

The princess is known to be a keen photographer and revealed in 2021 that she takes so many family photographs that her children sometimes object.

‘Everyone’s like, ‘Mummy, please stop taking photographs’,’ she said.

The image of Kate and her children, said by the palace to have been taken by Prince William, was posted on social media.

Without an official response from the palace, confusion around the image had fuelled online conspiracy theories about Kate which have swirled on the internet since her abdominal surgery.

Ahead of Kate making her statement, royal commentator Peter Hunt said: ‘This is damaging for the royals. They knew there would be intense interest in any picture they released of Kate.

‘Their challenge is that people will now question whether they can be trusted and believed when they next issue a health update.’

The picture shows Kate sitting in a chair with her arms around Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who are on either side of her, with Prince George standing behind, as all four smile at the camera.

But there was speculation that edits had been made to the left sleeve of Princess Charlotte’s cardigan, and other areas of the picture also raised concerns about possible manipulation.

In the social media post, Kate thanked the public ‘for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months’.

Within hours of the photo being shared around the world, multiple picture agencies issued a ‘kill notification’ – an industry term used to retract a photo previously handed out to publications.

Late on Sunday, the Associated Press became the first agency to ‘kill’ the photo over an ‘inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand’.

While AP said there was no suggestion the photo was fake, it retracted it because it said on closer inspection, the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet the agency’s photo standards.

AP said its editorial standards state that images must be accurate and that it does not use altered or digitally manipulated images.

The agency’s news values and principles explain that minor photo editing, including cropping and toning and colour adjustments, are acceptable when necessary for clear and accurate reproduction and should maintain the authentic nature of the photograph.

Changes in density, contrast, colour and saturation levels that substantially alter the original scene are not acceptable. Backgrounds should not be digitally blurred or eliminated by burning down or by aggressive toning. The removal of ‘red eye’ from photographs is not permissible.

When AP determined the photo appeared to have been manipulated, it issued what is known as a ‘photo kill,’ an industry term that retracted the image and instructed clients to remove the photo from their systems.

‘At closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image,’ the AP said in its advisory. ‘No replacement photo will be sent.’

A second agency, Reuters, also withdrew the image ‘following a post-publication review’. ‘We are reviewing the matter,’ a spokesperson said.

Readers on X added a community note to a post from the Prince and Princess of Wales’ account which shared the photo.

It said: ‘This photo is believed to be digitally altered and as a result many major news outlets have pulled the image from their reports.’

The photo of the princess is the first released since she was admitted to the London Clinic, the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate, for a planned operation on January 16.

Charles, 75, visited his daughter-in-law’s bedside after being admitted himself on January 26, the 11th day of Kate’s stay.

She was also visited by her husband, William.

Kate left the hospital on January 29, almost two weeks later, and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Details of the princess’s condition have not been disclosed but Kensington Palace said it was not cancer-related and that Kate wished her personal medical information to remain private.

The 42-year-old future queen was last pictured in public during a Christmas Day walk in Sandringham, Norfolk.

Kate is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter, and William, 41, temporarily stepped back from his royal role to juggle caring for her and their children as she recovered.

He returned to royal duties in February and is expected to carry out an engagement linked to his Earthshot environmental prize on Monday, as well as accompanying the Queen at events to mark Commonwealth Day.

Earlier this month the Army was forced into an embarrassing about-turn after suggesting Kate would attend Trooping the Colour on June 8.

Tickets were being sold for the event, with Kate expected to attend in her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards, the regiment which is trooping its colour this year.

However, it is understood the Army did not seek approval from Kensington Palace before publishing the page, and the website was subsequently updated to remove the reference to her.
